Description
M-Pulse's MP4TD0635 and MP4TD0636 are high
performance silicon bipolar MMICs housed in a cost
effective ceramic microstrip packages. The MP4TD0635
and MP4TD0636 are designed for use where a general
purpose 50
gain block is required. Typical applications
include narrow and wide band IF and RF amplifiers in
industrial and military applications.
The MP4TD0635 and MP4TD0636 are fabricated using a
10 GHz fT silicon bipolar technology that features gold
metalization and IC passivation for increased performance
and reliability.
